I retired from the U. S. Postal Service with 27 years of honorable federal service. While employed with the Postal Service from Sept 1982 to Oct 2009, I had a wide range of duties ranging from analytical duties in our "In-Plant Support" to criminal investigations in the U. S. Postal Inspection Service to Senior U. S. Passport Agent providing technical support to most Postal Agents in our city, as well as occasionally those Agents at other agencies.

I traveled to all corners in support of Lie-Nielsen Toolworks' woodworking shows. I have over 30 years experience in woodworking, from making hand-cut dovetailed boxes to tables to solid-body guitars. I enjoyed connecting to our customers, whether it was from explaining sharpening and tool usage to providing basic information. I had some bad luck that required two surgeries, and the show circuit being extremely rigorous position, it was best I not put any of my team members or myself in a position for potential injury. I retired from the U. S. Postal Service in 2009.

Multifaceted position including Internal/External/Fraud criminal investigations as it directly touched the U. S. Postal Service, as well as writing computer programs in Visual Basic. I was also the acting Information Technology Specialist for half a year, with off-an-on specialist duties during the majority of my tenure.
